      Plot


      Lawyer Paul Otto and his wife Jenny, an artist, decide that Agatha, the nanny to their son Gene, is getting past it and make the decision to dismiss her. Agatha takes the decision badly and the resentful former nanny promises this will not be the end of it. She departs, leaving Gene with a hideous doll called Robert. Shortly after Agatha's dismissal strange events start to occur in the house. Objects are thrown around, furniture is wrecked and ominous giggles are heard in the dead of night. Jenny soon becomes concerned about the relationship between Gene and Robert. Gene insists that Robert is alive and that it destroyed one of Jenny’s paintings and wrote ‘die’ on her bathroom mirror. Jenny soon comes to believe that Robert is alive and was responsible for pushing the cleaner Martha down the stairs and killing the babysitter Marcie. However, with no proof of this, Paul thinks Jenny’s mental health is playing up again…

      Reception


      On Culture Crypt, the film has a review score of 25 out of 100, indicating "unfavorable reviews".

      Corey Danna of Horrornews.net wrote: Andrew Jones is slowly growing into an interesting filmmaker and he really seems to have a passion for the subject matter. So much passion he’s already hard at work on sequel that will follow Robert the doll to his final resting place of the museum. Hopefully in the sequel, we will get to see the doll in more depth. That’s what this film was missing.A review on Boca De Inferno found the lack of budget was patent "in every scene".
